CALLER: Okay. Is it all right if I ask you a couple of questions real quick?

CLINIC: Sure.

CALLER: It’s just I’m scared, and I don’t know what to do. My friend told me that — I’ll be 14 in March, and she said that you guys would have to tell my parents I’m getting an abortion. But my boyfriend’s 22. Is he old enough to take care of it, and nobody would have to know?

CLINIC: I don’t know. You’d have to talk with Columbia.

CALLER: Oh, all right.

CLINIC: I don’t know what their stipulations are.

CALLER: Well, I’m worried about all this because my parents don’t like him, and they think he’s too old for me. But I don’t understand that. He’s only 22. I’m just scared. Because my last period was December 14th, and I don’t know. Could I get a pregnancy test there?

CLINIC: Have you already taken one?

CALLER: No, not yet.

CLINIC: Are your periods usually normal?

CALLER: Usually.

CLINIC: Yeah. We can do one of those here. But if it’s been two months since you’ve had a period, then I’d say that’s pretty accurate.
